Dallas Skyline junior linebacker Corey Nelson is in the midst of one of the hardest transitions that a defensive player can make. Last season, Nelson earned All-State honors as a sophomore at defensive end in leading the Raiders to one of the deepest playoff runs in the school's history.

However, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Nelson had a size/skill set that was better suited to playing linebacker in space than with his hand on the ground. As a result, Nelson was moved to outside linebacker in the spring and he appears to be well on his way to making the adjustment.
